They were closer to an army than a group of bandits. They
were nicknamed the Grey Eagles because they were used to
wearing grey clothes and because when they attacked a
place, they destroyed it completely as eagles when they
attack their prey.
Their injustice pushed a knight called Benjamin to
form the Brave Protectors, Which was the only side that
could stop the Grey Eagles or at least oppose them.
Andrew’s mother, the wife of Lambert, was Tania.
As Lambert realized that his family and he were living in a
tough environment, he decided that he should raise Andrew
to be powerful, to refuse injustice, and to protect his
dignity.
Lambert and Tania concentrated on raising Andrew
to become a good person who respected other people and
their rights.
As he grew up, his parents recognized that he was
different. He was calm and clever, much more than his
peers as if he was much older than his true age.




As Lambert was always used to fighting among the Brave
Protectors, once, he was going to Rawna City to join them
to fight the Grey Eagles. He was thirty-one years old then,
while Andrew was thirteen years old.

from going. She knew the Grey Eagles were closer to
beasts than to human beings. She was afraid something bad
might happen to her beloved husband, and after that, who
would take care of her young children?
